Abstract

In this paper we will examine how the power of the Prince depends exclusively on the “intensity” of the conflictive tension between the Great Ones who want to dominate and the People who do not want to be dominated. The objective is to clarify that, based on umori, understood as “states of mind”, an attitudinal change is made in the figure of the Prince. To demonstrate this, we propose as a methodological approach, to examine, through a theoretical-conceptual analysis, the primary sources to reconstruct the fundamental arguments of Machiavelli.

For this it is necessary, firstly, to analyze how Machiavelli conceives the new principality, and then, secondly, to highlight the dependence of the Prince's power on the humors.
